Explanation:

Let’s break down the code:

- PYTHON ? LMFRWN.

If you look closely, each letter is shifted back by 4 letters in the alphabet.

- P (16th letter) – 4 = L (12th)

- Y (25) – 4 = U (21), but in code we have M, so probably it’s decreasing by some pattern.

- But actually... P?L, Y?M, T?F, H?R, O?W, N?N

- Looks like:

- P ? L (–4)

- Y ? M (–12)

- T ? F (–14)

- H ? R (+10)

- O ? W (+8)

- N ? N (0)

- Wait, but Y (25), M (13) is –12, so maybe it’s not a straightforward shift.

Let’s see letter by letter:

- The pattern is not a simple uniform shift, but when we map RHYTHM to the code, we get:

- R matches P (in the original word)

- H matches Y

- Y matches T

- T matches H

- H matches O

- M matches N

So, the code in PYTHON ? LMFRWN is matching positionally:

- 1st letter of PYTHON (P) gets mapped to 1st of LMFRWN (L)

- same for other positions

So, for RHYTHM:

- 1st letter: R (corresponds to P ? L) ? R ? L

- 2nd: H (Y ? M) ? H ? M

- 3rd: Y (T ? F) ? Y ? F

- 4th: T (H ? R) ? T ? R

- 5th: H (O ? W) ? H ? W

- 6th: M (N ? N) ? M ? N

So, RHYTHM ? LMFRWN

Now, let’s look at the options:

1. MFRWFX

2. NFRWFS

3. KFRWFP

4. MFRWFT

But none of these match LMFRWN!

Let’s compare patterns:

- All options start with M, N, or K, not L.

- Second letter in all options: F (matches third letter in LMFRWN).

- Actually, option 1: MFRWFX resembles MF from LMFRWN, but not fully matched.

Here’s what this means:

- The right coded form of RHYTHM, using the pattern, should be LMFRWN.

- But as per the closest match in your options, Option 1: MFRWFX is the only one that closely aligns with the original code structure, because the middle sequence “FRW” matches, and the deviations seem in first and last letters.

- Let’s match each, but none gives LMFRWN exactly. Yet, by pattern, OPTION 1 is the closest.

Option 1: MFRWFX is the correct answer.

So, LMFRWN is the true pattern, Option 1 is the closest provided. Trust the code, not the noise.
